Where to find Cardboard Boxes in Fortnite

Although the Cardboard Box is marked as being a mythic item, it isn’t too difficult to come across. Cardboard Boxes can be found in chests, as ground loot, or they can be purchased from the Solid Snake NPC in exchange for 100 Bars. The boxes aren’t very interesting to look at. They’re just empty citrus boxes that were found in a Ship It! Express warehouse. However, that’s what makes them the perfect stealth option against unsuspecting opponents.

To use the Cardboard Box, throw it down in your desired location and interact with it to jump inside. You can then remain stationary to hide yourself from enemies or even move around while you’re inside the box to reposition.

Once you jump out of the Cardboard Box, it will be destroyed. However, you can stack up to five Cardboard Boxes in your inventory to use again whenever you please.

Now you know how to get Cardboard Boxes in Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 1, you can try them out for yourself in your next match.
